Old Jews Telling Jokes, co-created by Peter Gethers and Daniel Okrent, will begin previews May 1 prior to an official opening May 20 at Off-Broadway's Westside Theatre.

Directed by Marc Bruni, the production, according to press notes, "showcases five actors in a revue that pays tribute to and reinvents classic jokes of the past and present. Think you’ve heard them all before? Not this way. The show also features comic songs -- brand new and satisfyingly old – as well as tributes to some of the giants of the comedy world and to the brilliant raconteurs from OldJewsTellingJokes.com, the website that inspired the show." Casting will be announced shortly. The creative team also includes set and video designer David Gallo, lighting designer Jeff Croiter, costume designer Alejo Vietti and sound designer Richard Fitzgerald/Sound Associates.
